T-ara returns
After debuting in April and a strong display of their vocals with Good Person for the Cinderella Man OST, many were expecting big things from the 5 member girl group. Afterall, they did not seem to be adopting the cute and innocent concept which most girl groups are affilated with.
But the group’s debut was postponed after members, Ji Won and Ji Ae decided to leave the group in early June, citing differences in music style. Mnet Media reacted swiftly by drafting in Jeon Young Rok’s daughter, Jeon Boram as a new member. New pictures released today revealed that 2 more new members, Qri and So Yeon had been added, making T-ara a 6 member girl group.
The new pictures of the 6 T-ara members were most probably inspired by Lee Jung Hyun’s Joolae concept although they kind of overdosed on the use of white. Although they were donning a yellowish-white wig and baring their shoulders, T-ara looked more feminine and innocent, rather than sexy strong. Mnet Media expressed that compared to their initial bubbly young girl image, T-ara is going for a more feminine concept this time. I wonder if they will still stick to ballads or…. I think I would rather not think about it.
Ji Yeon.
Eun Jung.
Hyo Min.
Boram.
Qri (I wonder if it’s pronounced K-ree or Ri).
So Yeon.
More of T-ara will be revealed on 7th July although I am afraid that 2NE1’s comeback will most likely overshadow anything that they do. No exact dates were given but T-ara are expected to release their song in mid-July and begin their promotions in early August. Ji Yeon will have to do double duty though, promoting with T-ara and filming for her drama, Soul. Even without 2NE1, girl groups like Kara, Brown Eyed Girls and Jewelry will also be making their comebacks within this period. Let the battle begin!
I am not sure if I will still care since Ji Ae is gone.
2ne1 is a force to be reckoned with! im sure they’ll not succeed, they’ll need a miracle!
2ne1! fighting!
are these girls albino or something?
they look like they’re dead cause of their skin color. i dont get why ppl is asia want to look white. like looks at those pics. they look they’re a vampire or something. somebody needs to give them some bronzer
Amazing photoshoot :D
Cotton candies! ♥
Are they using this weird concept for them to stand out much? D:
Good luck!
my eyes hurt D:
nice skin xD
nice hair o.o
pretty pics, scary wigs though
i’m pretty sure her name (Qri) is supposed to be gyuri(giyuuree) because they’re korean. I speak korean so i know that koreans pronounce ‘Q’ as gyuu and there are many girls in korea with a name of gyuri :) hope that helps!
no matter how good their music is, more people would be focused on 2ne1’s comeback.
&they; all look alike. O_________O
wow, they are all so piaoliang
:D
oh, so the first picture wasn’t all of one girl?
wats up wit the white fro?
at first i was like t-ara sounds familiar… but who are they again? lol. now i remember… another girl group…
That is so true. They all looks the same person. -___-
Except for the girl in the middle of the bottom row, they all look the same — and more like ghosts than innocent females. Scary! AND ugly! Who is coming up with these costume concepts? They need to be FIRED!
LOL, i thought it was the samee person the whole time XD
Theyy are pretty thoughh, i guess.
Theee wig is a no no haaaah
wow. i hope there won’t be too much competition between the new girl groups.
haha @8 i cant see the difference between them either
Hmm , I’m not sure what to say here :P
There’s too many girl groups that I can’t keep track of them. Their pictures remind of that Ava chick and her Avahaolic album or whatever it was.
WoW! I hope those are wigs! Its weird how they all are the same now.
they look the same besides the first girl that almost resembles a kitty cat
Some of them are mesmerizing. Hyomin and her eyes. ^^ They are pretty/cute.
On another note… they look like a human cotton candy with that wig. XDD I hope the concept works out, ha ha.
Hyomin’s the prettiest.
Boram will stand out anyway, she’s like 7-8cm shorter than the rest (I don;t know the new girls’ height). But it’s good that they are not all the same, gives the group some diversity. These girls are going far, just watch.
freaky… in a way
i have a feeling BORAMMMMMMM
is gonna be the popular
boram just looks so different
somehow stands out from the rest
and yeah she does look best in the wig
<3
ji yeon is UGH
2ne1 will be like a shadow over them, they pwn :]
oh wow, interesting…
The look bad with blond wigs on.
it’s funny how i cant recognize/distinguish them LMFAO
their hair reminds me of my poodle….
I don’t remember who the original 3 member so of T-Ara when they first debuted……………
Makes them look like they don’t want to be Asian. They should be proud. But their manager/agent/ whatever probably made them. :P
they all look the same to me.
hehe kinda creepy…
lol
well they all r really beautiful and their voices. well the from original T-ara sounded wonderful. hopefully they will stick to the feminist/sexy look.
